Medical facilities reason to give thanks

Unfortunately, it is in life's most difficult moments that we need to utilize our area's medical facilities. It was only a short time ago that our mother was in need of care from two of our local facilities.

She was initially taken to Riverview Medical Center in Wisconsin Rapids. First, she was taken to the emergency room and then admitted to the hospital. We take comfort in knowing that our mother received compassionate care while she was a patient at Riverview and are grateful for the caring staff that was attentive to her needs.

In addition to caring for our mother, the staff was also attentive to the needs of our family. Their sensitivity to our needs by providing extra chairs in the room, the comfort trays and countless other ways is greatly appreciated. Their thoughtfulness and compassion will not be forgotten. The facilities' waiting areas were large enough to accommodate our very large family. The private rooms were spacious and allowed our family members to spend the nights with her.

Our Mother was then transferred to the Wisconsin Rapids Care Center. The Care Center staff, in time, became part of our family as well. They anticipated the needs not only of our mother, but the entire family. Our family wishes to express our heartfelt appreciation for the kindness and excellent care our mother, Margaret Klement, received during her recent stay at the Wisconsin Rapids Care Center.

We are very saddened by her death, but we are comforted in knowing that she received the best care available. The sensitivity and support of the Care Center's fine staff helped us through what was a very difficult time, and we will never forget their kindness. We wish to express our appreciation to everyone who worked with Mom.

The people of our community are indeed fortunate to have these fine facilities so close to home.
